The teenage years — a vibrant time filled with a spectrum of emotions, from bright moments of joy to quiet, unspoken struggles. Understanding these emotional complexities, on February 28, 2025, Olympia Primary, Secondary, and High School organized a school psychology session titled "Understanding Teen Emotions" exclusively for secondary school students. This intimate and engaging conversation not only helped students explore, identify, and manage their emotions but also nurtured a foundation of mental well-being — a vital part of the core values of Sakura - Olympia: Ethics - Health - Knowledge.

Olympia middle school students had the opportunity to have their teenage emotions "untangled" by Dr. Lê Thị Duyên, a lecturer from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Education – University of Da Nang.

More than just a simple talk, the program featured a series of interactive activities, creating a safe space where students felt comfortable sharing their innermost feelings — from the quiet thrill of noticing a special friend to the confusion of experiencing unfamiliar emotions. Engaging games, group discussions, and an inspiring presentation by Dr. Lê Thị Duyên, a lecturer from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Education - University of Da Nang, helped students gain a deeper understanding of themselves. The activities guided them in healthily expressing their emotions and building positive relationships within the school community.

The engaging discussions helped students gain a deeper understanding of their own emotions.

At Sakura - Olympia, health is not only about having strong legs to move forward but also a peaceful and resilient heart to withstand the storms of youth. "Understanding Teen Emotions" opened the door for students to delve deeper into their inner world, transforming each school day into not just a journey of academic growth but also one of personal development.

We hope that after this heartfelt conversation, students will be able to listen to, understand, and manage their emotions, moving forward with confidence — whether in friendships, relationships, or future challenges. Keep tuning into your emotions, because growing up is, at its core, learning to understand yourself. 

Let’s move forward together with strength, joy, and inspiration, beloved SOers!
